There is no fixed version for Centos:7 perf.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perf package and not the perf package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cdrom: rearrange last_media_change check to avoid unintentional overflow
When running syzkaller with the newly reintroduced signed integer wrap sanitizer we encounter this splat:

Historically, the signed integer overflow sanitizer did not work in the
kernel due to its interaction with -fwrapv but this has since been
changed [1] in the newest version of Clang. It was re-enabled in the
kernel with Commit 557f8c582a9ba8ab ("ubsan: Reintroduce signed overflow
sanitizer").
Let's rearrange the check to not perform any arithmetic, thus not tripping the sanitizer.
